Anyone here who got cured from social anxiety?

First of all you should understand that every humans in this planet have some sort of social anxiety..for some people it may be severe..the more you are conscious about this problem..the more you will suffer.The best way to cure social anxiety is to practice smiling at home, jump and dance with joy infront of the mirror assuming you are the most successful person in your locality..do this regularly..it will develop "self confidence and self respect" in you which are the key factors in curing social anxiety..then do some physical exercises and take coldshowers which also brings your hormone levels balanced..if you've any more doubts..please ask

 

True everyone is different and has different reasons.

 

Jesus healed my anxiety half a year ago. It coincided with the longest NoPMO streak ever.

Now I sometimes notice women being shy and nervous around me, when they find me attractive. It used to be the other way around. Though once they get to know me, they become calm and relaxed.

 

Well I'm on day 26 no PMO and it's kinda like an up and down thing, one day I'm super confident, get things done and have a great day...one day I'm depressed without any reason even when i have had a reason to be happy...it's like man's period...NoFap causes mood swings for me probably cz I'm not getting high on dopamine anymore...so you should try for yourself as the days I'm depressed i don't wanna talk with anyone (not even my cat).

 

If you're an introvert you won't get cured from social anxiety. The idea that rebooting will get rid of social anxiety isn't completly true. Sure if porn makes you isolate yourself quitting it might make you more sociable, but if you were quiet, preferred your own company or found spending too much time with people exhausting before you looked at porn then you just might be an introvert.

 

Monk Mode could be a good one for cure anxiety.
i will try Monk Mode next year.

 

Would you say it is worse but you are better equiped to handle it?

 

Me

 

It’s definitely worse in many aspects, but I think I’m able to manage it better in a way. When you’re numb you notice problems or things but they’re usually not very severe when you’re using, as any time you feel something you don’t like it’s easy to switch off and turn to porn. Except when you quit you’re forced to face reality and meet your emotions head on, which is why it’s difficult for a lot of folks as you have nothing to turn to.

I may never be able to fully get rid of anxiety in general due to circumstances, I just hope I can get to a point where it’s manageable especially with my sensory issues.

 

I am interested my friend.

I feel you. I do gym, street fitness, running, table tennis, walking and got the same results.

I am interested in literature about semen retention and sexuality. I read I great one, called ''secrets of cultivating male sexual energy'', currently.

Your problem solving was great.

 

Proclamations like these are powerful. Be careful with them, they determine you whole life.

I'm an introvert, means I need alone time to replenish energy. But I'm cured from anxiety and I'm good with people now.

 

I should clarify my statement more. I experienced strong social and general anxiety for many years. I tried many many techniques for getting rid of it. They helped a bit but never fully. It wasn't until I went on my current streak, while maintaining these techniques that it really started to go. When I refer to techniques, I am referring primarily to accepting things as these are, as an when things arise. Eckhart Tolle YouTube videos will explain better than I can.

I want to reiterate though that giving up porn has been integral to ridding myself of various forms of anxiety.

 

Anyone with anxiety should check out Dr. Claire Weekes.

Basically, anxiety = sensitized state.
In very simple terms... resisting anxiety = feeding anxiety, accepting anxiety = desensitizing.

What you resist, persists and this is especially true for anxiety.
